Homework
This will be handed out on a Friday and is due back in the following Friday at the very latest. Where possible, homework will link to work being covered in class.
Spellings
Spellings are also handed out on a Friday ready for a test the following Friday. Please make sure the children are practicing their spellings every week.
Share a story journal
Every week on a Friday, one child from the class will bring home the 'Share a story journal'. This is a further opportunity for you to read with your child while enjoying a nice cup of 'hot chocolate' (provided by the school). If it is your turn to complete the journal, we ask that it is returned on the Monday so that teachers have a chance to look over any work that has been completed.
PE
PE is currently on a Tuesday and a Friday (Gymnastics). Please ensure your child has the correct kit (including daps or trainers) on these days.
Reading Books
We are continuing to improve children's reading fluency and comprehension. Please continue to hear your child read as often as possible and use the question based bookmarks to support this process. We encourage children to change reading books as regularly as possible. Please ensure you record any reading that takes place at home with a simple comment inside the small blue/green book (Reading Record). Finished books can be placed inside the classroom crate on a daily basis but they will not be changed unless the reading record has been written in.
